One solution is to limit your core dump size to zero:
% limit coredumpsize 0
Or maybe make a directory called "core" and the system can't write the
file. Another method might be to use dbx which can be found here:

I haven't used dbx, so I don't know for sure how much work it takes.
One other thing, I've opened my core files to read the contents and
sometimes if you read down inside the file through all the noise, you can
see some english text possibly defining what the problem is. I don't have
any experience with core dumps though, so this is new to me too.
